Overview
- The New York Giants placed cornerback Sam Webb on the reserve/retired list, a move recorded on the NFL transactions wire and reported by team beat writers.
- Webb signed with the Giants in mid-August, took part in one practice and played 14 snaps in the preseason game against the Minnesota Vikings before leaving the roster.
- The roster move removes Webb from New York’s 90-man preseason roster while allowing the team to keep his rights if he ends his retirement.
- Webb, a 28-year-old undrafted player out of Missouri Western, spent parts of five seasons with multiple organizations and finished his career with modest playing totals.
- The decision comes during the normal preseason churn as the Giants adjust depth at cornerback and plan to fill Webb’s open preseason spot in the coming days.
